AndroidTV Amazon App Store - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Essentially what I am trying to do is get the Amazon App Store apk found here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/blp/i...ion=us_stable&asin=&appName=hollywood&isMLP=1
By using the developer Darkuni on geforce forums called APK2TV found here on XDA:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/general/toolapktotv-convert-app-apks-games-apk-t3338516
I didn't have any luck- so I tried to do it manually with Android studio by modifying the manifest. However when using APK easy tool found here on XDA:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...tool-apk-easy-tool-v1-02-windows-gui-t3333960
To decompile the apk but I had no luck also.
The guide on Android looks fairly simple if you're a developer.

Has anyone had such luck to get Amazon APP Store on shield?? Not Amazon video, the APP STORE by Amazon.
Why?
I would like to play the games, also see if GameFly, would work:

I would imagine it would, as the shield controller looks the same layout:

I'm also interested in this. I have a few Amazon apps/games I'd like to use on the SATV.

installing unsupported apps

hey guys, ios/ipad convert here.
Just wandering if now that we have root we are any closer to making apps like movie studio that is preinstalled on the xoom available for our a500's.
Also anyway to access the us marketplace? Would like to get google books but it isn't available in the uk. And in 5 weeks I'm going to the us/canada for a year, would the store determine my GPS location and give me access ro that store or does it go on account billing information?
Thanks.
here is the movie studio apk but it fails to install on the a500
I've tried Google books on my a500, books aren't available in uk yet but you can get free books. Kinda pointless. Go for kindle or even the native Lumiread.

Alternatives to Amazon appstore or Android market

Thought I'd list a few alternatives I've used to get apps onto my fire.
My favorite is the Android pit app. It offers quite a few apps and defaults to the market for those it doesn't offer directly. On the fire the Amazon appstore opens instead, usually saying app not found. Also features app reviews, a weekly half price app (which usually had a review also) and a news rss feed that also shows directly in the app.
There's also Getjar which now supports the fire as a device. You can get the latest version of the Dolphin HD browser here.
Both of these can be found via a Google search in the browser. The Android pit site will automatically offer to download their app as long as you have the user agent set to tablet instead of desktop.

Amazon App Store

Anyone have any luck or even try porting the Amazon App Store? I really like their selection of free books. I feel like they have more books than Google Books does.

Download it to your computer and sideload it, or download it to your device and install it with unknown sources enabled.
Also, a simple "it's already available for other devices" would have been a better approach.
Amazon App Store doesn't have free books, I assume you are talking about Amazon Kindle App.
Yes you are right, it's not available for all devices, but you can sideload it anyway. It doesn't have strict region restrictions as Amazon App Store has.

Amazon Instant Video app now available

Probably too little, too late, but then again, maybe not, but Amazon has finally released an android version of the Amazon Instant Video app:
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/09/09/amazon-prime-finally-comes-to-android-after-all-these-years/
However, no Chromecast support. Boo!
It does work. I've installed it on both my RAZR HD and my Nexus 7. However, you must also have the Amazon store app installed as well. If on a Nexus 7, then you MUST install the non-tablet version of the Amazon store app. Until I installed the non-tablet version, it would keep telling me I had to install it and then would redirect me to the Amazon store web page.

Osmo Apps from the Amazon AppStore

Osmo makes interactive and educational games for kids (see here: https://www.playosmo.com/en/) and they say that they are only compatible with iPads and Fire Tablets. I'm not an Apple guy but I have many Android tablets. I'm also not a real fan of Amazon tablets, but I have some of them. I've looked all over the web for the Osmo apk files so that I can run their stuff on other Android tablets, but I can't find them anywhere. They're only available in the Amazon appstore, and it's pretty locked down. I've installed the appstore on my other tablets, but because those tablets are not "registered" devices, or approved devices, the Osmo apps are not available in the appstore on those devices.
The main apps I'm after are, Osmo World, Osmo Monster, Osmo Detective Agency, Osmo Pizza Company. Is there a way to grab the apk files from my amazon tablet before they get deleted (Amazon apk files are automatically deleted after installing)? Or is there some other clever way of grabbing the apk files? The guys at Osmo are not helping me. They just work with Apple and Amazon.
Well, I sure would appreciate any help on this. Thanks in advance.
Wow guys, I posted this question back in January 2021 and nothing, zip, nada. Maybe it's a bit too specific of something. Just needing some way to grab an Amazon App store app, before the apk gets deleted off of my tablet (immediately after it gets automatically installed). There are no alternate listings for the apk's that I'm after so they're only available in the Amazon App Store. I'm trying to get, "Osmo Math Wizard" and, "Osmo World" and the other Osmo apps I mentioned before. Help, help!
